artemisdartAlthough it was a couple of days delayed, my gift in the "A Ship Awakens Holiday Exchange" just appeared recently! So I'll take the opportunity to talk about both of the Gingerpilot fanfic gifts I received for the holidays.
The fic I received for the Holiday Huxchange, organized for members of the "Aw Shucks, Hux" Discord server, is a beautiful six-chapter, 26K word exploration of early poly between Poe, Hux, and Lieutenant Mitaka of the First Order. I absolutely adore it, and the writer, Taz_Eichel. She has such a sensitivity when it comes to describing the inner landscapes of the characters, especially the difficult or remote ones, like Hux. I felt that all three points of view were absolutely spot-on. I could see everything in my mind's eye; her descriptions are lush and colorful, while also meditative, showing me insights into the different people's characters and why they do what they do.
One thing I really enjoyed, and found both relatable and intensely touching, was the understated but clearly intense D/s relationship between Mitaka and Hux. I think Taz is excellent at showing how the sub really needs their Dom to be there for them and ensure they're psychologically safe. The obvious bond between Mitaka and Hux was so sweet and heartbreaking to witness. And then they're bringing in Poe for a little bit of fun -- but of course, Plot and Feelings interfere. Or do they!??!?!
The look on my face when I realized I was going to get both plot AND a hot threesome scene....!!! :-D
I could reread this fic again and again, and I plan to! So far I've only commented on four of the six chapters, but I try to do it justice whenever I have the time and energy for another comment. Her fic is one of the best fics I've ever received as a gift.
The second fic I've received isn't finished yet, so I can't judge it! I've bookmarked and subscribed and commented and kudosed, and I hope the author has the time and energy to return to it, because Chapter 1 was quite promising.
It's no exaggeration to say that the holiday fanfics I received were among the highlights of my Christmas season. It's truly a gift to receive lovingly hand-crafted Star Wars porn, written to my exact tastes!
I am thrilled and lucky to be in this hobby and to have found such like-minded people!
